"E" is edges

No one wins in the poker game because the deuces are still rough around the edges.

"F" is four-flushing

At the end of the job on Brokeback, the deuces in the poker game resorted to a little four-flushing, hoping Aguirre wouldn't notice that some of the sheep were Chileans.

"G" is go-ahead

Jack and Ennis waited awkwardly outside until Joe Aguirre stuck his head out the trailer door and gave them the go-ahead to come inside:

"If you pair of deuces are lookin' for work, I suggest you get your scrawny asses in here, pronto."

"H" is happens
« Reply #11583 on: March 05, 2007, 09:24:01 am »
It just happens that our two deuces meet up outside Aguirre's trailer office that spring morning.  One wants to control his life and make choices, and the other seems content that life happens to him.   

The deuces later agree that what happens on Brokeback stays on Brokeback.

"I" is insurance

The deuces are taking a risk by playing the game without any insurance.

"J" is jugful

Joe Aguirre brought along a jugful of coffee, but the pair of deuces weren't offered any.

"L" is limit

Ennis, in spite of his fearful view of life, seemed to know the limit placed on life, limb and liberty for a pair of deuces.

Cool side-theme, Paul.
Yeah real cheesy, Sandy.
Jack and Ennis were two four-flushers, Meryl.
Aguirre had real Texas coffee habits, Fran.
Good to be back.
I think I'll have to get a new signature after this round.

"M" is mute

Ennis kept mute about the hand that he was dealt while Jack was more of a wild card.

"N" is near-miss

Although Jack had hoped for a full house, this pair of deuces ended up with a near-miss hand, partly because Ennis wouldn't ante up.

"O" is offsuit
« Reply #11589 on: March 05, 2007, 01:17:09 pm »
The pair of deuces were part of an offsuit hand when they met, but by the end of the summer they were both in the suit of hearts.
